1. Wir untersuchen die Funktionen einzelner Proteine, die die Vermehrung verschiedener Human-, Tier- und Pflanzenviren mit einem RNA (Ribonukleinsäure) Genom beeinflussen. Einige der Proteine stammen aus der Zelle, werden von den Viren rekrutiert und ‚helfen‘ bei deren Vermehrung. Andere der untersuchten Proteine bekämpfen virale Infektionen im Rahmen der pflanzlichen Immunantwort. Schließlich analysieren wir die Mechanismen viraler Proteine, mit der diese pflanzliche Immunantwort inhibieren.2. Im Rahmen eines universitären Projektes wurde eine neue Technologie zur Impfung von Tieren gegen Viren entwickelt, die nun in der ausgegründeten VEROVACCiNES GmbH in Halle weiterentwickelt wird.
3. Über die Entwicklung einer Technologie, die die einen wichtigen Teil der Immunantwort gegen Viren ‚im Reagenzglas‘ simuliert, können besonders effizient antivirale RNA-Wirkstoffe, sog. ‚RNA Aktiva‘ identifiziert werden. Diese Technologie wird derzeit für die routinemäßige Anwendung optimiert.
